Here’s a point which, you
shouldn’t lose sight of even if
you close your eyes:
A shirt that fits well looks
well and wears well, and
1 01|0 cheaper than the shirt yon
(lIlUi get for nothing if it isn’t up
to the mark in all these par
ticulars.
You don’t want to look un
presentable if you know it,
and you are sure to know it if
you do.
There is nothing more un
comfortable than an ill-fitting
shirt, and to avoid this dis-
discomfort you should buy the
Manhattan Shirt, which is
acknowledged by all good
dressers to be the most perfect
fitting shirt manufactured.
I have them in Full-Dress,
Puff and Negligee styles in
prices from $t.oo upwards.
My leading attraction this
week is a cool, breezy, Puff
bosom Shirt in lovely designs,
at $i.oo each, which is well
worth $1.50. They are on
display in my show windows.
Call and lee them.
Yours to command,

A h« day. ago llwd tried eery hard to
gat the speaker to count a ijuorum of
members In the high handed manner
that was employed by Keed when he
was speaker. But Judge Criep waa not
to be entrapped la that way. A sharp
colloquy ensued between the two, la
which Reed wee sat down on very severe
ly. Judge Crisp la more than a match
for the burly maa from Melon, and the

Another argument wan nude before
the house committee yesterday la favor
of appropriating five million doiiare to
the Chicago exposition. My opinion la
that all arguments that can ha brought
to bear will not Induce this home to
appropriate that or any other large
amount of money to the World’s Fair,
lot Chicago keep her promise and run
the fair henalf. The people of tbU
country, so many or whom an poverty-
stricken, are la no mood for seeing their
hard-earned money given awny to a rich
city to help that city maka a Mg show.
The appeal to patriotism does not bold

president claim that already W dele-

that in addition to then, ill mom have

leepssary, 430 being a majority of the

Atlanta, Ga, May 5 —[Special.]—
This afternoon Itev. Sum Small was In
itiated as a member of the farmers' sill
t In a sub allinten at Easton In Iba
northern part of thU county. ThU Is
probably preliminary to an active can-
m for congress from this district.
It U given out that Mr. Small will
favor the re-election of Governor Nor-
then, and at an slllaneetnan, If It
comes necessary, be will stamp the state
for him.
The fact that he baa Joined the sill
ance at this particular lists renders abso
lutely certain hit entering the nee for
congress, and as Colonel L. F. Living
ston will also be a candidate, one of Iba
liveliest meat on record • Is In prospect
for this district.
Mr. Small is not n third party man
a or will bs make the race for this party,
but will strive for the demoeratlc noml-
all on. Sam Jooes frequently says,
that above all things be despises a dull
Ime.”
The voters of the fifth congressional
district may rest assured that whan tbs
campaign la opened then win not be a
dull moment from It* faoeptioa to its
Mr. Small baa never changed hU resi
dence from this city. He frequently
goes off and remains for months, bat
this Is always reckoned bis boms.
It will be news to the voters of the
district that he has joined the alllaaoe,
and hit joining! •* sot the paattlme of
an Idle hour, for Mr. Nmsll Is a very
busy man.
It meant business and from this time
